Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Meng Zhao is just a hedgehog now and has no way of starting!

Old man Wu didn't agree with the strong man's idea of ​​dealing with Meng Zhao, nor did he care about it. He didn't believe that this man could cause any harm or influence to Meng Zhao. He was just dissatisfied with the current situation and said insinuatingly,

"By the way, sir, in the past three months, our offerings have not been distributed. It doesn't matter to me, but the boy at home needs to consume resources when practicing martial arts. I wonder if you can mention it to the superiors. , reissue the previous offerings as soon as possible!”

The Moon Guards like them, who are hidden in various parts of China, are actually treated very well by the imperial court. According to the distribution of martial arts, merit, and contribution, it can generally maintain their needs for practice and advancement, and will not cut off the path of martial arts.

This is also what attracts people to the imperial court. They use their cultivation resources to attract these warriors. It really depends on brainwashing. How many fools in the world will let them tease them? What’s more, those who have achieved innate martial arts skills will not be fooled. Easily fooled.

For example, take Old Man Wu, who has cultivated to the innate realm. Although his realm is not high, according to Yue Wei's salary, he can receive three Qi Yi Dan and Chalcedony Pills every month. As for gold and silver, he does not need them. To put it more bluntly, compared to the Yiqi Pill and Chalcedony Pill, it is only an insignificant part.

This Qi Yi Dan is mainly used for Qi training, and the Chalcedony Pills is mainly used for body training. They are all great medicines that the imperial court has developed and researched for many years and can be systematically refined. They can use the cheapest medicinal materials to refine them into the most effective medicine. The pill with the least poison can help the cultivation of the innate realm.

Old man Wu is now older and has no pursuit of martial arts. However, he has a son. Now he saves the salary from the court and gives it to his son. He relies on Qi Yi Dan, Chalcedony Pills, and it is hard to say what else is innate. There is no problem in the innate realm. If you work harder, there is a lot to be done in the innate middle realm.

People similar to Old Man Wu, in fact, account for a large part of the Moon Guards. They have learned martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family. They must be thinking that it will be helpful to their own lives, practice, and so on, and they are willing to do so. Give loyalty.

However, it is really unbearable to have no salary for three months, no pills, no gold and silver, and only rely on verbal praise and praise.

Old man Wu couldn't hold himself back anymore and wanted to find out what was going on now. Did the commander of the Moon Guards in Liangzhou embezzle their salary, or was there another reason?

The strong man's heart skipped a beat, his face was not very good, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes became gloomy.

"Why, all the elixirs you have accumulated over the years have been used up. Your boy is only in the acquired state now. Why should he take such precious elixirs?"

This statement makes no sense and tends to change the subject.

The elixirs that other people have accumulated belong to them, so it’s fine if you don’t distribute the elixirs. You also say that their sons don’t deserve to use precious elixirs. Isn’t this a slap in the face?

Sure enough, Old Man Wu didn't look very good either. He pressed the pipe in his hand and blew out a long puff of green smoke.

"Sir, I, Old Wu, have devoted myself to the court and never betrayed the royal family for so many years. I don't think it's a credit, but hard work is definitely there.

I'm not asking for rewards or asking for things that don't belong to me, but now that I don't even have my salary, what's the point of doing these things.

Also, I am not urging you, I just want to find out what is the reason for this situation?

Is it temporary, or will it be like this for a long time to come.

I don’t want to be a fool and have to be a chamber pot for others when I die! "

This is also quite rude. Although he does not have a high status as this strong man, he is still an old man of the Moon Guard.

The strong man also knew that his reply and expression just now were a bit excessive. He thought for a moment and said,

"I just made a mistake, but I was also communicating with the superiors about this matter, but the situation was not very good.

The commander will definitely not be greedy for our salary. You can rest assured of this. However, you and I both know the current situation.

The imperial court is busy suppressing the rebellion. Even if the elixirs are refined, most of them will be provided to the officers and soldiers of the army. Not only you and me, but the entire Northland's cultivation salary cannot be distributed for the time being.

As for how long this situation will last, I can’t guarantee it! "

Speaking of these, the strong man is also filled with bitterness.

No matter how the outside world evaluates the current situation, there is one thing that cannot be deceived, and that is the internal trend and ethos.

The mere fact that the salary cannot be paid out is enough to prove that the Yong Dynasty and the Beitang royal family are about to collapse.

This is really not nonsense, and don’t think it is alarmism.

In modern society, if the company you work for doesn't pay your salary for three months, wouldn't you feel anxious and suspect that the company is about to go bankrupt?

In the same way, for a dynasty that cannot even guarantee the basic remuneration of its spies, one can only imagine what state it is in.

When Old Man Wu heard what the strong man said, he didn't have any special reaction, and he even felt calm.

Because he had already made a guess.

The imperial court has been suppressing the rebellion for several years. The war is fought for logistics, a steady stream of wealth, and of course, people.

The court has no shortage of people, but not necessarily logistics.

The rebellion in the south involved several states, and tax revenue would definitely be lost. This was equivalent to the loss of a piece, or even a large piece, of the imperial court's income.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

In recent years, the Beitang royal family has been drawing blood from the north and transferred to the south to suppress rebellions. This is not only known by their spies, but also by some Jianghu wanderers and even ordinary people.

Therefore, life in the north is not very good now. Prices are rising, while incomes continue to decline, which is the result of being drawn blood by the court.

Even as spies of the Moon Guard, they have collected a lot of people's dissatisfaction with the court and the Beitang royal family.

This is normal. People seek benefits and avoid harm. In the past, I submitted to your Beitang royal family, which was a win-win situation. We were brothers and could get benefits. At the same time, you were powerful and I couldn't get angry.

Now it's different. You are drawing blood unilaterally, using my northern heritage to support you in quelling the rebellion in the south. The northerners are not cheap skins. How can they remain indifferent?

In addition, your Beitang royal family's kingdom is not as stable as in the past. It is possible to profit from it.

The reason why the strong man wanted to deal with Meng Zhao so eagerly was because he had keenly realized that the people in the north were already scattered, and the ruling foundation of the Great Yong Dynasty and the Beitang royal family here had been shaken. No, it was not even shaken, but really damaged.

With the existence of a fierce man like Meng Zhao, the future of the northern land is really worrying. (End of this chapter)
